Mixing container and method of use

Abstract

A mixing container with an internal mixing blade has an extraction funnel, a main housing, a rotatable base cap, a mixing blade and a gear mechanism. The extraction funnel has a first end with a maximum diameter and narrowing to a second end of a minimum diameter at a neck portion. The main housing includes a mixing chamber. The rotatable base cap with an internal gear is attached to and is rotatable relative to the main housing. The mixing blade has a plurality of prongs extending from a shaft. The prongs are in the mixing chamber and the shaft extends through an opening in the main housing to inside the rotatable base cap. The gear mechanism has at least one gear, each of the at least one gears is connected to or intermeshed with the internal gear of the base cap and the gear of the shaft end.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of mixing a composition comprising the steps of:
 providing a mixing container with a main housing with a mixing chamber with an internal mixing blade rotatable by a gear mechanism with a plurality of gears in a rotatable base of the mixing container, the main housing having external raised grips, the mixing container having a quantity of dried micronized particles inside the mixing chamber, the mixing chamber having an end attached to an extraction funnel, the extraction funnel having a first end with a maximum diameter and narrowing to a minimum diameter at a neck portion at a second end, and the neck portion at the second end having a sealed injection port;   injecting a volume of fluid using a needle with a syringe attached through the sealed injection port into the extraction funnel and mixing chamber containing the micronized particles; and   rotating the base of the mixing container while holding the main housing about the external raised grips to move the plurality of gears of the gear mechanism to spin the internal mixing blade to incorporate the fluid into the micronized particles to the wet composition.   
     
     
         2 . The method of mixing a composition of  claim 1  further comprises the steps of:
 inverting the mixing container; 
 inserting a needle with an empty syringe attached into the injection port; and 
 extracting the wet composition into the syringe. 
 
     
     
         3 . The method of mixing a composition of  claim 1  further comprises the steps of:
 inserting a needle with a syringe attached into the injection port, the syringe having a quantity of cells or cell components; 
 pushing the cells or cell components into the into the extraction funnel and mixing chamber with the wet composition; and 
 rotating the base of the mixing container to move the plurality of gears of the gear mechanism to spin the internal mixing blade to disperse and incorporate the cells or cell components into the wet composition. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of mixing a composition of  claim 3  further comprises the steps of:
 inverting the mixing container; 
 inserting a needle with an empty syringe attached into the injection port; and 
 extracting the wet composition and cells or cell components into the syringe. 
 
     
     
         5 . The method of mixing a composition of  claim 2  further comprises the step of:
 injecting or implanting the wet composition in the syringe into a patient. 
 
     
     
         6 . The method of mixing a composition of  claim 4  further comprises the step of:
 injecting or implanting the wet composition with cells or cell components into a patient. 
 
     
     
         7 . The method of mixing a composition of  claim 1  further comprises the steps of:
 wherein the extraction funnel has a threaded first end and the mixing chamber of the main housing has a threaded end configured to receive the threaded first end of the extraction funnel; 
 wherein the method further comprises the step of unthreading the extraction funnel from the main housing; and 
 the method further comprises the step of removing the extraction funnel and placing the dried micronized particles into the mixing chamber and rethreading the extraction funnel onto the main housing.
